Let's talk about fasting.

I'd love to hear your stories because I hear SO many different experiences with this one…

Some women tell me "Cathy I love it, my digestion is better than ever, I feel amazing"

And others say "I was exhausted, starving by 11am and honestly I think it made everything worse"

And you know what? I believe both of them completely. Because fasting hits differently for every woman and especially for us after 40.

There ARE real gut benefits. Giving your digestive system a proper break lets it rest, repair and reset. Less bloating, less inflammation, better digestion. That's not made up.

But here's what doesn't get talked about enough…

For a lot of us? Fasting raises cortisol. It drains our energy. And if you're already dealing with perimenopause or menopause symptoms adding that kind of stress to your body is really the last thing you need.

Not to mention trying to hit your protein goals in a compressed window. That's HARD.

So my honest take fasting is a tool. Not a magic fix. And there are gentler ways to support your gut and your hormones that don't leave you white-knuckling it until noon. 😄
